The 31-year-old East German-born Krabbe, who was crowned 100-meter and 200m world champion in 1991, had been awarded $660,000 by a Munich court last June when the IAAF were found to have acted excessively in extending a one year ban imposed by her national federation for taking clenbuterol in 1992 by another two. The IAAF had appealed against the original decision but agreed to the deal in front of the Munich court of appeal. "The IAAF have agreed to draw a line under the eight year legal affair with Katrin Krabbe," read a prepared statement.
